skype has done its part to bridge world peace between mac owners and pc owners. its latest skype for mac client will allow mac users to make free video calls to not only mac users, but also pc users. the new beta version of the software, called skype for mac 2.0, is now available for download through the skype website.

the client's video call features include the ability to view video within a window or on the full video screen. users can also keep an eye on how they look through a small on-screen window. with the release of this new software, there are now more than 113 million users who can make video calls to one another–whether they are pc or mac users.

hats off to skype for bridging the digital divide between mac and pc users. the new apple commercials have done much to fire up the rivalry between the two groups. skype saw that what was needed to bring these two groups together was diplomacy through video calling. we can only hope that just maybe these two groups can begin to get along. next thing you know mac users and pc users will be marrying one another. thanks to skype for contributing in a small part to world peace.
